Umm.. ouch. And... OUCH. God, the burning... And hell, drink Schnapps and you can get drunk AND keep your minty fresh breath. Amateurs. :cheers:

Lies. And, after too many "Erm.. who am I, and what am I doing here?" mornings in my early twenties, I denied my Irish heritage and stopped the binge-boozing. Life got a bit less exciting, but at least I don't have to practice the alphabet backwards to be prepared for impromptu field...

Glasses @ age 6. Epic moment: Backseat of the Pinto, wee little me cries out "I can see the tops of the trees!".. Mom breaks down in tears and proclaims she is a horrible mother... I still remind her of that. ;) But "life in HD" really does describe the moment. Gratz on seeing...

I wanted to be hellfirenbrimstone...but apparently it was too long. And, it's a name solely forged from the depths of my mind, after being guided gently to the Politics forum by my mentor (who, for his sake, shall remain nameless)... I was sure I was going to "bring it".. Of course, I got...

I was at work, looking at the Boston skyline, as I often did...instead of working. Someone came in to tell me a plane had hit the first tower. I jumped online to see what was happening, and watched things unfold rapidly. As news spread, we gathered around a tiny PC screen to watch live feeds...

Be sure to empty the trash into a Ziploc bag or something... that can be tightly sealed.. Technically, you aren't supposed to throw it in the trash, you know.. cuz of the animals and stuff.. but.. I won't tell if you don't. Seriously, read some of the links posted, and get informed. It...

http://www.epa.gov/mercury/spills/index.htm Umm, so.. look at the part where it says "Never do"... (Specifically, the washing machine part)..

31 (shush, that just means I'm wiser... :| ) and 70k..which, here in the lovely state of Taxachusetts... isn't all that much.

My dream job would entail a cottage on a rocky cliff, preferably on the coast of Maine (or in the UK or Ireland... because well, y'all have some pretty cliffs there), a large window.. and a giant desk for writing. Writing the next "Great American Novel" is the biggest of my pipe dreams...

I voted "fat" although the term isn't exactly what I think of.. Extremely muscle-y guys typically have egos to match, and I know my role in life... there's no point in admiring what you cannot have. Thin, skinny... /wrists types... look too breakable, and.. that's never pleasant...

Not to bust in and break up the fun, but.. a few things: 1) Your ISP is probably throttling bandwidth. Most do. They aren't technically supposed to, but.. there's a ton of legal wranglings right now as to how it will all be sorted. 2) Combine that craptastic policy of punishing...

For real? It's folks who think like you do that make criminals start screaming "rights violations" if the handcuffs are too tight or the officer's badge was too shiny and hurt their eye. The hell with it, let's just get rid of prisons and let everyone just be "human". If I remember...

Go to NBC.com and watch it online.. Shooting events start at 10pm ET They've got 2000 hours of online programming lined up... :thumbs:

I love the Olympics!! I love the back-stories of most of the athletes (not the "Dream Team" crap, etc.)... like, the USA's flag-bearer is one of the Lost Boys from the Sudan.. that's a real story, and the spirit of the Olympics--overcoming adversity! I hate the Internets that ruin the...

Meh, not everyone can be as eloquent, I guess. /CptObvious
